In the lobby of Jinyiwei Nanchang Qianhu Office, the mine supervisor was sitting Li Longduan behind the public case, looking at Su Hao kneeling below with a smile, and asked.
"The student is Su Hao." Su Hao replied honestly, there was no way, this was an era of strict hierarchy, and no bastard could escape from the mundanity by letting go of his temper.
After getting a reply from Li Long agreeing to prospecting, Han Wen arranged for Su Hao to lead people to the Tonggushi area in the mountainous area of northwest Jiangxi to search for the gold mine predicted by Su Hao. Su Hao brought a dozen soldiers from the survey camp and also
There were two Jin Yiwei sent by Li Long from Nanchang and two embroiderers trained by Han Qian. A group of nearly twenty people set out from Fengcheng and headed straight west into the mountains in the northern section of the Luoxiao Mountains.
Su Hao had the memory of several gold mines in Tonggu in his previous life, but in order to hide his eyes from others, he still pretended to use the compass for a long time before leading the team to the location of the gold mine. The two Jinyi guards sent by Li Long had visited other gold mines before.
With their experience as mine guards, they had some knowledge of gold mines. After inspecting the rock samples on site, they were overjoyed and immediately returned to Nanchang with Su Hao to report their merits to Li Long.
Li Long had already heard about Su Hao. After all, the drought relief well digging in Fengcheng County and the subsequent mining of the Yuanli gold mine in Changwu were not trivial matters. Li Long also knew about Fengcheng County because of this.
A young geomancer who had learned the art of surveying from the Western Yi. This time, Su Hao went around the Tonggushi Mountain and identified a new gold mine with reserves that were more than 10 times larger than the Yuanli Gold Mine. Li Long was really
Surprised and happy, he ordered his men to summon Su Hao and question him personally.
"No gifts, no gifts, get up quickly. Our family is just a minister, and we can't bear your big gift." Li Long said in a pretentious manner, and then ordered to the little eunuch beside him: "Hurry up and set up a chair for Su Xiucai to sit on."
Look, how can there be any reason for a scholar to kowtow to our family? Wouldn’t this shorten our family’s life?”
The little eunuch brought a chair and placed it behind Su Hao. Su Hao stood up, thanked Li Long, and then sat down half-crouched, waiting for Li Long to ask questions.
According to the rules, it is indeed not necessary for Su Hao to kneel down and kowtow to Li Long. There are many restrictions on kneeling in the Ming Dynasty ceremony. Generally speaking, officials are not encouraged. Scholars usually kneel down by two or three.
When high-ranking officials meet each other, they just bow to each other. But the rules are rules, the secular world is secular, and everyone else kneels down. If you insist on pretending to be noble and refuse to kneel down, then just wait to be punished.
Su Hao is an expert by background, has a very high IQ, and a fairly low emotional intelligence, so he can still handle this matter clearly.
"Su Hao, our family heard that you had never been to Tonggu Shi, but you were able to predict in advance that there must be a gold mine in Tonggu Shi. At first, our family really couldn't believe it. Later, Zhang Bai followed you.
The householder reported to our family that he had indeed found a gold mine, and it was a big gold mine. Our family's jaw dropped." Li Long stroked his chin exaggeratedly and said to Su Hao.
Eunuchs live in the inner palace all day long, hanging out with a group of concubines and palace maids, and are somewhat tainted with sissy. There is really nothing that can be done about it.
"Back to Eunuch Li, the student was also eager to relieve the imperial court, so he spoke boldly. Fortunately, the survey results really found a gold mine, otherwise the student's death would not be enough to atone for his sin." Su Hao replied.
Li Longge smiled and said: "Su Xiucai is really self-effacing. Not everyone dares to say this kind of thing, and not everyone can find the mine after saying it. Mine supervisors everywhere ask miners to search for ore, and no one dares to lie about it."
The miner has such a magical ability. I heard that Su Xiucai learned the art of surveying the world from the Yi people. Could it be that the art of surveying the world from the Yi people is better than the art of surveying the world from the Ming Dynasty?"
Su Hao said: "My Ming skills are definitely the best in the world. However, the skills of the Yi people also have merits. The students just combined my Ming skills and the skills of the Yi people into one, so it is unusual."
The miner has a little more confidence."
"Well said, well said. Come and give me a reward." Li Long turned to the little eunuch beside him and ordered.
The little eunuch came forward with two ingots of silver and handed them to Su Hao. Su Hao quickly took them and thanked Li Long. Li Long just waved his hand and said: "Any merit must be rewarded, what should I thank you for? Our family has always liked to have people who have merit."
For capable young people.”
"Thank you Eunuch Li for your compliment." Su Hao responded respectfully.
With his previous experience of dealing with Chang Wu, and looking at Li Long, Su Hao felt that the two eunuchs were really very different. Chang Wu had a condescending attitude. Even if he smiled at you, he would only be smiling but not smiling at all.
, it seems that giving you a smile is a great gift. As for the reward, there is no mention of it. Su Hao worked tirelessly to find a gold mine for him, but in the end he didn't get even a penny of reward.
On the other hand, Li Long was obviously much more easy-going and his rewards were genuine. These two ingots of silver were worth 10 taels. He just rewarded them as he said they would, and he was not sloppy. He kept saying that he cherished talents, regardless of whether he really meant it in his heart.
Thinking of it this way, at least the surface work is done well.
It can be seen that eunuchs are not all disgusting. This is just a profession. What profession does not have good people and bad people? If you think about it, in Chinese history, there are endless good eunuchs.
Su Hao sat there with his own thoughts, and Li Long asked further: "Su Hao, do you have any advice on the mining of Tonggushi gold mine?"
Su Hao hurriedly said: "Eunuch Li's words are serious, how dare the students tell him to teach him? In the student's humble opinion, the rock formation structure of the gold mine here is slightly better than that of the Yuanli Gold Mine, and the possibility of a roof collapse accident is slightly smaller.
, but you still need to pay attention to protection at all times when mining, and use wood to support the roof to prevent accidents. Gold mines are accompanied by pyrite, which is harmful to the human body. Pay attention to ventilation when mining..."
When Su Hao was narrating, Li Long had been listening attentively, and motioned with his eyes to the little eunuch next to him to take notes. When Su Hao finished speaking, Li Long nodded and said: "Su Gaizhi, Han Zhi County
In your letter to me, you repeatedly praised you for your upright character and for doing things with a public heart and not seeking personal gain. After hearing what you said, I completely believed it. These days, I want to find a few people who do things down-to-earth.
, it’s really not easy.”
"Uh..." Su Hao was speechless. When Li Long spoke to this extent, his solicitation intention was very obvious. If Su Hao wanted to climb this line, he should stand up immediately and bow before him. It is best to recognize Li Long.
Whether Long should be a godfather or godmother... depends on Li Long's own gender orientation. But Su Hao is not that kind of person after all. Although he also has the intention of hooking up with Li Long, he wants to make him a slave.
He just wanted to lick a eunuch's feet. He really couldn't do such a disgusting thing.
"You all, please get out of here." Li Long waved his hand and drove out the young eunuchs and royal guards who were waiting on both sides. When he and Su Hao were the only two people left in the room, he looked at Su Hao with his eyes.
Asked: "Su Hao, you should understand what we mean, right?"
"Back to Eunuch Li, the student understands." Su Hao responded helplessly.
Li Long said: "Su Hao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Although our family is disabled, we are not without a competitive spirit. The place where our family is not as good as others is that our family is
You are so kind-hearted. In order to complete the errands, other people would not hesitate to force the people to go bankrupt. This kind of thing cannot be done in our family.
Our family also comes from a poor family, and we know the hardships of poor families. However, if our family never achieves results, it will be hard to explain when we go back. Lord Buddha, bless our family for discovering talents like you, Su Gaizhi.
You are capable and not greedy for wealth, which is in line with our family's temperament. Are you interested in working as an errand for our family? Let's join hands and find more good mines, which will not only lighten the burden on the people, but also make the inner court more money. Our family can
If you have some glory in front of the emperor, you will naturally have a bright future. This will benefit everyone, are you willing?"
"Well, back to Eunuch Li, the student is willing to run errands for Eunuch Li. However, the student has a grudging request. The student is the only son in the family, so..." Su Hao couldn't go on. If he continued, he meant
The monk scolded the bald donkey.
Li Long was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Su Hao meant, and couldn't help laughing. The eunuch had a physical disability, and he felt a little ashamed at first, but as time went by, he became relieved and would not be embarrassed by it.
.Hearing Su Hao's worry, Li Long only found it interesting, not an insult to himself.
"Su Gaizhi is indeed a straightforward person. He dares to speak out about such things in front of our family. Don't worry, our family just wants you to work as an errand for our family, not to let you enter the palace. The person who wants to enter the palace now
There are so many people who have purified themselves and are waiting outside the palace to make up for their quota. Even if I want you to enter the palace, you may not be qualified." Li Long said with a smile.
"The student made a mistake. I forgive you, Eunuch Li." Su Hao said. He felt relieved that he could keep something important. "Eunuch Li, I wonder if you want students to do errands. How do you do it specifically?"
"This matter is not urgent." Li Long put away his smile and said, "Don't look at our family's great reputation in Jiangxi Province. If we return to the palace, we will be just an ordinary minister. If we want to be able to stand up in front of the Holy Lord,
To be able to speak a few words, you must also have impressive results.
Instead, we have found a gold mine for our family. We plan to immediately recruit the people from Changwu to mine the gold mine in Tonggushi. It will take a year and a half anyway. Our family will go back with the gold to pay the bills.
When the time comes, we can let the Holy Father take a high look at our family and arrange a better place for our family."
"That's it." Su Hao said. It seems that the bright future Li Long told him just now is just a blank check. He has to wait for Li Long to mine the gold and get Wanli's approval to promote him to an official position.
Only then can it be possible to support me. This back and forth has been a matter of several years. I can afford to wait, but I cannot afford to wait for my great career in picking up girls. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
